Why You Should Attend

Even though statistically you may feel that this crime is not a problem in your own particular area, the truth is that the actual incidents are likely to be at least 10 times higher than those reported.

Section 17 of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, details that social housing providers have a duty of care towards the safety and welfare of residents, and that they must be seen to be taking the necessary actions to ensure residents safety and security.

This training will give your organisation the tools to develop a distraction burglary strategy to reduce crime against older people, reduce peoples fear of crime, visibly reduce bogus caller crime and revitalise a local community.
